The Circular Head Giants is an Australian rules football team which plays in the North West Football League. They are the football team that represents the Smithton Football Club in the NWFL. Known throughout most of its history as the Smithton Saints, the club competed in the North West Football Union in two different stints, from 1949 to 1951 and then 1980 to 1986, then in the NWFL since 1987. The club is based in the town of Smithton.
The club has participated in several Australian leagues, such as:
In 2016, the club was rebranded, still known formally as the Smithton Football Club, but changing its playing and trading name from the Smithton Saints to the Circular Head Giants. The Smithton board had many years of discussions to change the identity, in an attempt to return the club to being a power in the North-West. NWFL president Andrew Richardson said "You hear that Smithton doesn't represent Circular Head - well this gives everybody the opportunity to jump on board the club." The club adopted the charcoal, orange and white guernsey of the AFL's Greater Western Sydney Giants, replacing the club's traditional red, white and black guernsey.
